Olympic challenge for High School teams

THURSO High School got into Olympic mode last week as they staged their version of the upcoming games in Rio.

Each of the four school houses adopted a country and took part in a four day programme of Olympic sports including netball, football, rugby sevens, table tennis, mountain biking and badminton.

Brims represented Australia; Pentland were Great Britain; Olrig were China; and Dirlot Brazil.

Olrig ended up topping the medals table followed closely by GB, Brazil and Australia.

The Olrig team celebrated by having a final half day of fun with the PE department. All four teams are seen here on the school playing fields.
